<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this chilling follow-up to "Last Rituals," lawyer and single mother of two Thora Gudmundsdottir is once again pulled into a darker side of Iceland's history as she hunts for a savage killer.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>"Top notch crime fiction." --<em>Boston Globe</em></strong></p><p>American readers first met Icelandic lawyer and investigator<em> </em>Thóra Gudmundsdóttir in <em>Last Rituals. </em>In <em>My Soul to Take, </em>internationally acclaimed author Yrsa Sigurdardóttir plunges her intrepid heroine into even graver peril, in a riveting thriller set against the harsh landscape of <em>Smila's Sense of Snow</em> territory. A darkly witty and continually surprising suspense tale that places Yrsa Sigurdardóttir firmly in the ranks of Sue Grafton, Tess Gerritsen, Faye Kellerman and other top mystery writers, <em>My Soul to Take</em> is ingenious Scandinavian noir on a par with the works of Henning Mankell and Arnaldur Indridason. Stieg Larsson (<em>The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo</em>) fans should also take note.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>In the mystical Snæfellsnes region on Iceland's west coast--at a New Age health resort in a renovated farmhouse--the body of a young woman is discovered, savagely beaten, with pins inserted into her feet. Thóra Gudmundsdóttir, lawyer and single mother of two, has been retained to represent the resort's owner and prime suspect. But a fresh corpse is not the only abomination Thóra encounters here--for local legend says this place is haunted . . . and a bizarre series of inexplicable occurrences soon suggests it is so.</p><p>As Thóra digs deeply into the farm's past, she unearths a shocking history of evil and depravity--and her once-solid view of reality begins to waver. But a second murder, shockingly similar to the first, pulls Thóra back to earth by making two inescapable truths abundantly clear: the killer she seeks is very real . . . and is not finished yet.</p>
